Accepted Fandom(s): Harry Potter is easiest for me, but I'm open to other options so feel free to ask!

Accepted Ratings: Anything accepted on HPFT.

Challenge Details:

There is a list of words below, definition included. The point of the challenge is to include as many of the words as possible into a story.

The words must be used according to their definition.

Word count: 3000 words max; one chapter only.

A fresh one-shot is preferred, but not mandatory. You can add a new chapter to a pre-existing story.

Minor changes to the listed words (i.e., adapting tenses, using a plural instead of a singular) are fine. You may also use 'bamboozle', 'flabbergast' and 'discombobulate' as adjectives rather than verbs if preferred.

Please include the name of the challenge in your story summary.

Now, onto the list! All definitions save for 'cattywampus' (also spelled 'catawampus') are from the Oxford Dictionary of English.
